"Malformed entry 62 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list"

Post by can'tcomeupwithaname »

I'm in the process of Reinstalling Wine and I got this error when trying to run the command
"sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/focal main'" and I got this error:
E: Malformed entry 62 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list (Component)
E: The list of sources could not be read.

Any help is greatly appreciated
Thank you :D

There is an error on line 62 of /etc/apt/sources.list
To help, we need the contents of the file.
What is the output of:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/apt/sources.list
Use the forum code-tags (the </> button)

I checked line 62 and this was what there was:
deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/focal main

The contents of the entire file are here:

It's missing a space between / and focal.
